Teacher Union Stomach Cramps
Tuesday and Wednesday were both spent at the UFT offices in downtown Manhattan. I was the lucky recipient of some highly overdue training on the math program. I learned some new strategies, talked useful shop talk with other math teachers, and realized that many other schools have administrators who are on the ball. I was able to crib a scope and sequence from another teacher. For those of you who aren't teachers, this is a coup.
I also ate the free lunch.
TANSTAFL. My digestive system is making noises usually only reserved for cheap cars on potholed streets.

TANSTAFL? Sounds like a character from Shakespeare.

That new UFT office is really sumpin, ain't it? I had a Staff Development there the first week. Wow! What a building! Now I see where the outrageous dues go! The lunch hall/cafeteria is great. I had to show my Union card to get a mere discount... and there YOU are sitting there and eating a FREE lunch. Hmph!
